Great idea actually.


Make some artwork out of the pulp and display/sell :)

Just in case this is helpful / relevant: I also saw a woman of this description (shopping trolley, fairly well dressed) rummaging through the bins in Nunhead at around 12.30 today (Carden Road I think). Two young men (presumably those who lived in the flat / house she was outside) were taking photos / filming her and asked her to move on. This was in Broad daylight obviously.

Macutd. U should call 1p1 inform police state have photo to.

We had it and they came in unmarked car caught them trying get items for identity theft.


Said wish more report as you see it that entering your gate going into bin is theft.

That it's gangs women sometimes guys.

Identify theft mostly

this doesn't make sense.

It makes sense to me.

What do you know of the outcome? Found and questioned in the street? Searched? Arrested? Cautioned or charged? Convicted?

Was that an informal warning or an official caution?


I'm particularly interested in the extent to which the police treat these cases seriously if there's clear evidence of removal of papers containing personal information that might be used for id theft. Was there any that you know of in this case?

    • Simply, give us a snap election now as the last 12 months in office honestly have not been great in any sense. Let someone else have a go at turning around UK plc before it's too late. At least the last administration had the inflation and unemployment going in the right direction at the END. 
    • Yes but what's the answer, Jazzer? No government can simply walk in and fix the economy - get the bills down, grow it and reduce debt. There is no silver bullet. The public (and the press) wants everything now, everything cheaper, but with better public services and lower taxes.  In the radio and paper, all you ever hear is pundits, MPs, think tanks and economists saying what won't work, but no one seems to know what will work.  I'm genuinely interested to hear what other views people have on here, and what they think will help, or make things worse. 
    • While they struggle with economics of UK plc, collectively we all suffer as a result of their ineptitude. 
    • I’ve tried to find details of surgeries being held before but not found any. The section of the Southwark website that details councillors’ surgeries says that: Your locally elected Councillors will be holding a roving surgery programme in the Dulwich Hill area to enable residents to raise any local issues. Residents will be notified by letter in advance of the date, time and specific streets/roads where the surgery will take place.  Surgeries are not held in August, on Bank Holidays, Easter or in Christmas Week.  Dulwich Hill Ward Councillors I’ve never seen any notification of surgeries being held, including on the DH councillors’ social media accounts. I don’t know if any other residents of Dulwich Hill have? Neighbouring wards all seem to have times and places posted for surgeries.
